Florida Democratic Party Chair: ‘They’re Like Children, These Black Lawmakers’
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 06/20/2017 | Conor Beck

Florida Democratic Party chairman Stephen Bittel is considering resigning following backlash from racially charged comments he made toward members of the legislative black caucus.

The tension started at a Saturday fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party, the Miami Herald reports. Bittel shortened the program by removing a segment in which state legislators would be recognized.

Bittel referred to the anger from lawmakers over the snub as "childish." Bittel also said State Sen. Oscar Braynon (D.), a black legislator who expressed lawmakers' unhappiness to the chairman, was acting "like a three year old."

After the dinner, white State Sen. Lauren Book (D.) asked Bittel about the situation.

"They're like children, these black lawmakers. They just don't get it," Bittel said. "I raised more money in this amount of time than they ever could."

Some of Trump’s most die hard supporters are blacks.
I just wish the rest of them would see the light of day.

Because, whereas it took my pop going out in groups with my mother, then going out as two couples with her brother, to THEN going out alone, to getting engaged to getting married to sleep with a woman, it now takes a beer. And maybe the girl is treating.

They wanted “equality”. They lost everything.

They’ll have to. I think you’re right.

It should take over the MSM’s airwaves - it certainly would if it was a Republican.

I .ight be mistaken, but I thought there was a lot of that in the DNC email hack.

What they need is a decent government that governs fairly and honestly as well as enforces contract law and criminal law with no favoritism. What they need is for people to not be so fatalistic and seek to improve their circumstance to the best of their abilities. The two are synergistic. But, it’s all so intrenched and habitual that I don’t know if they can pull out of it on their own. Call me a colonialist, call me a racist, I don’t care anymore. I don’t wish those people ill and I don’t want to take advantage of them. I just want to see them in a self-sustaining productive state and not a pitiful mess as they have been for practically my entire life.

So, Bittel should have added “..., like the LSM/Deep State would have us believing Trump acts.” to protect himself?

This accurately describes ALL adherents to the democrat party - looking for a new parent to take care of them throughout their lives.

Nixon’s comment on focusing on Africa if he had the chance way back when - makes me wonder what might have been. Although there is a long memory of the various tribal fighting, so that is difficult to overcome.

Our church has a group of Rawandan’s (Christian) that worship in a separate space. I think they either were always Christian, or perhaps from one tribe. A few months ago some former muslims, or perhaps the opposing tribal members, but now Christians, came to speak and apologize for their tribe’s actions in the civil war. Many of “our” members walked out, and I guess the visitors mainly got a very cold reaction from most of the members. Of course the church leaders were hoping that it would lead to reconcilliation. (And perhaps it is the first of many steps).

The reaction as Christians is sad, but also understandable. Some of our members have talked about how they were left as orphans when the other tribe would come through and kill all of their family members over the age of 12. I’m not sure that I could ever forgive someone for that.

One of the many negative consequences of WWI might have been the too-rapid collapse of colonialism. The third world might have been better off with a more gradual withering of Western Imperialism.

Just thinking out loud here.
